- I have an unhealthy obsession with garbanzo beans and hot sauce. Not together, per se, although that is good too. I want to put these two ingredients into everything. Everything. Right now, it's garbanzo beans + chard + broccoli + hot sauce + cumin + sea salt = yum. Fact.

- Natsume Yuujinchou will have a second season starting in January. This makes me thrilled, almost as thrilled as discovering Clannad the After Story. Which means nothing to you, just something to this little anime geekwad. Am also content that Bleach is finally back on track with the manga and I can start watching it again.

- Celeste and Mina rule. In a move I can only describe as Epic, Mina flung herself belly up on the ground right in front of Celeste who face-planted gracelessly after tripping over the prostrate pit bull. Mina emulated a volcanic eruption and launched herself into the air, not realizing the air was currently occupied by a table. The plant, book and phone minding their business on the table saw their miniscule lives flash before their nonexistent eyes as they sailed through the air. The pit bull and muttskie ended the program by jumping on the bed, knocking off the comforter, and promptly falling asleep like nothing happened. I called them bad words. They snored.
